You may view my professional qualifications and degrees in LinkedIn. I studied photography, art, and design at California State University, Chico and at Parsons School of Design in NYC. I have spent a large part of my career teaching photography to kids and young adults, and I love to share my expertise by teaching classes & workshops. I have applied my expertise in photography to a few different lines of work, including high school and college teaching, but my favorite is newborn, child, maternity, and family portraiture.

I shoot in clients’ homes, on location, or in my home studio, and most of my clients live in the city of Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Point Breeze, Regent Square, or the outlying communities of Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Wexford, Sewickley, Cranberry Township, and Fox Chapel. I am also available for commercial projects near and far.

I am very active on social media, so please follow me on Facebook (for my latest portrait, event, and commercial work) and my business Instagram (portraits I’ve taken and behind-the-scenes images) and my personal Instagram (photos of my kids!).

Please look around my website and get a feel for my work and who I am, including client testimonials. Call or text me for information on sessions at 412-559-3889, or email me. I look forward to talking!
